Zone1 Noah's Ark

[frigidweirdo]

I'll stay with the Bible's description.

But you don't. You've created your own description.

 

[surada]

I believe in the literal, 24 hour days. "“And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” One evening + one morning = one day.

I also believe that there were a minimum of two of every animal on earth and that man and dinosaurs did co-exist for a time. The Bible speaks of the "behemoth" and the "leviathan." For the writers of the Bible to write about such beasts indicates that they witnessed them.

The Nile crocodile and the hippopotamus are the leviathan and the behemoth.

Have you ever heard of fossils?

The Nile crocodile and the hippopotamus are the leviathan and the behemoth.

Have you ever heard of fossils?

Are you aware that there are fossils of large dinosaurs?

Stool - wooden seat with no back.
Stool - poop.

It can mean different things.

Some of these terms for "ark" mean a box. Some don't.

It can mean something affording protection. It can mean a vessel. It can mean the Ark of the Covenant.

To suggest that it CAN mean a box that it DOES mean a box is ridiculous and ignores how language works.

So, is that all you've got? Because if it is, then the Ark is NOT a box.

The instructions are plain. The ark was a box shaped structure, 450' x 75' x 45'.

What instructions are you using, exactly?

 

[Woodznutz]

What instructions are you using, exactly?

The ones in the story.

 

[frigidweirdo]

The ones in the story.

Show me the ones in the story.

I don't think you want to compare yourself to me in any meaningful way.

I didn't do that, as good as it would make me look. Stay focused.

Right, it's a myth.

Glad we got that settled.

I'm focused.

Show me the ones in the story.

Genesis 6
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

Anytime someone says something negative about another he or she is comparing themselves to that person. Jes' so you know.

Okay, so which bit says "it's a box"?

I don't see it.

I see the word "ark", I know you've decided an ark is just a box. But THIS TEXT DOES NOT SAY IT'S A BOX.

You're trying to take other times when "ark" has been used and seen that at times it's been used to describe a box, so you're saying it must be a box.

So when we have "the doctor sat on the wooden stool", because "stool" has been used in he past to mean poo poo, it MUST MEAN POO POO. So, you read "the doctor sat on the wooden poo poo".

Great logic.

So you can now ignore this thread and go talk about Trump instead.

Not as long as people insist the myth is true.

I'm getting comfortable.

It was a coracle, not a box.

Finkel's replica of Babylonian ark - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Sixty lines of the Ark Tablet go into great detail on the design of the boat and the materials, including sufficient details of its dimensions and construction to enable a copy to be attempted. The tablet describes essentially a very large coracle or kuphar and made of rope on a wooden frame. The design was effectively very large scale version of coracles used until the mid-twentieth century in Iraq. However, the quantities specified were enormous. The tablet described enough palm-fibre rope, wooden ribs and stanchions to build a coracle 3,600 square meters in area, almost two-thirds the size of a soccer field, with walls six metres high. If the amount of rope described were laid out in a single line, it would be 500 km long. Because the hull was to be made of fibrous rope, bitumen was specified in the tablet to waterproof the boat.[1]

The Ark looked something like this.

Finkel concluded that a full-size 'ark' (of that design) would be impossible to build.
